Small Business Statistics For Web Site Generated Business

 Here is another great article for online sellers. Stats that just might let you know it is really worthwhile!!!!

 

 

Online SMBs see 41 percent of turnover from web

Small businesses with an online presence reap almost half their average turnover from the internet, according to study by Telstrawww.telstra.com.au and the Council of Small Business of Australia (COSBOA).
The study of 1000 small businesses found that of the 36 percent of small businesses with a website, six in ten (63 percent) are selling products or services online.
According to the study’s authors, it “validates anecdotal evidence that Australian small business is much more nimble in seizing online opportunities than the top end of town.”
“It also showed the sector saw the broader use of technology as critical to their business success.”
Telstra Executive Director Small Business Charles Agee said a shift in the way local business operates is occurring, and small to business businesses are leading the way.

“While there’s been much debate about online shoppers buying products overseas, the move online by small Australian retailers and service-based companies has developed from a ripple into a wave.”

The Telstra Business-COSBOA research also found:

• Almost seven in ten (67 percent) small businesses with a website regard it as important or very important;
• The proportion of turnover online is strongest in the Transport and Storage (55.4 percent), Accommodation, Cafes, Restaurant and Travel (53.8 percent) and Retail (52.3 percent) segments of small business;
• Internet commerce uptake is higher in regional-based small businesses (67 percent) than those in metropolitan areas (62 percent);
• More SMEs in Queensland (43 percent) have an online presence than any other state, with NSW (39 percent) and Tasmania, NT and ACT (37 percent) not far behind.

Agee said it’s clear the small business industry has recognised the importance of broader technology to help them achieve their business objectives.
“Communications and ICT services are seen as either very important or important for the day to day for 85 percent of the small business.”
Of those businesses planning to spend more this year, 42 percent plan to spend on ICT, with the drivers being to upgrade to newer technology, increase productivity and enhance customer service. Other big areas of expenditure are marketing (46 percent) and plant and equipment (45 percent).
“The research also shows 89 percent of small businesses see work life balance as very important or important. Earlier research shows there is a clear link between both issues, with technology such as smart phones, tablets and wireless broadband being an enabler of more flexible working,” Agee added.

Interesting article

Why perfection sucks

The following negative ways of thinking are frequently observed in unhappy people, according to cognitive psychologists. Do any of these sound familiar?

12 July 11 Sam Leader

1. I need other people to like me and approve of me. 2. It doesn't matter how hard you try, if luck is against you, you won't succeed. 3. If I have to make a choice, it is important to be sure I make the best choice. 4. It is important to do all things competently.  I think it’s easy to see how 1 and 2 would lead to dissatisfaction, but 3 and 4 are harder to grasp. They both look quite positive on first glance, but who can possibly know what the ‘best choice’ is prior to making it? Who can do all things competently?  Striving yet inevitably falling short (thoughts 3 and 4) is a sure fire recipe for unhappiness. Still such thinking seems prevalent within our society, particularly amongst perfectionists.  I always hated that idea that you should say “Ooh, I’m a perfectionist” when asked what your faults were in a job interview. What an unimaginative, deflective answer. Oh, and it’s a lie.  It’s not hard for me to mount an argument against perfectionism. I operate under a ‘near enough is good enough’ policy when it comes to work, mothering and tending to my appearance. Just ask my colleagues, kids and John-Paul.  Ambition means little to me. I tend to think “I’m glad I’m not…” rather than “I wish I were…” I am really aware of my faults. These include, but are by no means limited to dismissiveness, laziness and an inability to scramble eggs.  But because self acceptance means more to me than self improvement, I don’t really dwell on my limitations.  And I’m not being funny, and I’m sorry if this sounds smug, but I am a really happy person.  Stephanie Dowrick recounts a tale whereby she was in a room full of people anguishing over their limitations. She went up to each individual and told them “You are enough.” The restorative nature of that simple statement was immediately evident.  Perfection does not feature in nature, where there are no straight lines. Recently on the radio, I heard Stephen Hawkins eloquently explain how after the big bang, imperfections within the universe meant gravity could take hold and life itself could begin.  So why strive for perfection?  The prosecution rests its case. I’ll happily call further witnesses or hear from defendants of perfectionism. Special thanks to Peter whose piece on why failure matters inspired this article. Peter doesn’t mind me taking his moderate and thoughtful ideas and running with them to the boundaries of acceptability. It’s kind of a thing we have.
